Something is pressing against the knob on the printer’s right side.
Turn off the printer and reposition it, leaving approximately
2 inches of open area next to the printer’s right side. The printer
will not work if anything is pressing against the knob.

Contact your dealer or EPSON.

There is a problem with the carriage. Turn off the printer. After
a few seconds, turn it back on and try printing again. If the error
is not cleared, contact your dealer or a qualified service person.
The printer sounds like it is printing, but nothing prints.
The print heads may need cleaning. See Chapter 5 for
instructions.
One or both ink cartridges are empty or too old. A cartridge is
too old if it has been used longer than six months or beyond
the date on its packaging. First clean the print heads as
described in Chapter 5. If this does not solve the problem,
replace the ink cartridges.
Ink cartridges do not last as long as expected.
The ink cartridge life varies, based on the amount of ink used
in printing and how often you clean the print heads. If you
often print pages with large graphics and dense text with little
white space, you will use up cartridges faster than if you print
pages with lots of white space.
